Certified Compassion: Why Green Vegan Bags Is a Proud PETA Business Friend

At Green Vegan Bags, sustainability and ethics are at the heart of everything we do. But beyond providing stylish, high-quality vegan handbags and wallets, we’re on a mission to make a difference. That’s why we’re proud to be a PETA Business Friend. But what does that really mean? 

Why Green Vegan Bags Supports PETA

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, fighting against animal cruelty in fashion, food, entertainment, and more. Their work is crucial in exposing industries that exploit animals, and their campaigns have led to major victories in companies dropping fur, ending cruel animal testing, and holding corporations accountable for their treatment of animals.

When I started Green Vegan Bags, I knew I wanted to create more than just a vegan handbag store. I wanted to offer people a way to shop confidently and easily without compromising their values. Being a PETA Business Friend is one way we contribute to that movement.  All bags are PETA approved purses, 100% vegan, free from animal-derived materials, and sent to you with compassion in mind.

The Problem with Leather in Fashion

The leather industry is anything but ethical. Many people don’t realize that leather production contributes to deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions—on top of being directly tied to animal suffering. The tanning process involves toxic chemicals that harm workers and pollute local communities and waterways.

By choosing vegan leather bags over animal leather handbags, you’re taking a stand against this. The vegan leather bags and wallets we carry are created from innovative materials like plant based materials, upcycled inner tubes, and cork leather, proving that fashion can be both stylish and ethical.

My History with PETA

My support for PETA didn’t start when I launched Green Vegan Bags. I’ve been a long-time advocate for animal rights and have followed PETA’s work since I was in my teens. Seeing their campaigns and the impact they’ve had on animal rights made me realize that I could make a difference too.

When I started this store, I knew I wanted to be part of something bigger—something that aligned with my personal ethics. Becoming a PETA as a business friend was a great step. It’s a way to show that we’re not just talking about compassion—we’re actively working toward a kinder world.

Green Vegan Bags at the Latin GRAMMY® Gift Lounge: Spreading the Message Further

One of the most exciting milestones for us was having our products featured at the backstage Latin GRAMMY® Gift Lounge. This wasn’t just about getting in front of celebrities; it was about bringing the conversation of ethical fashion to a wider audience. Many celebrities and influencers are using their platforms to advocate for causes, and this was the perfect opportunity to showcase PETA approved handbags that prove that high fashion can be cruelty-free.

Having our vegan handbags at an event of this scale reinforces why we do what we do. The response was incredible, and it showed that more people than ever are interested in choosing ethical alternatives.

Why It All Matters

At the end of the day, fashion is about self-expression. But what if that expression could also be a statement of kindness? By supporting a PETA-approved store like Green Vegan Bags, you’re making a conscious decision to shop in a way that aligns with your values.

Every time you choose a vegan crossbody bag or an upcycled wallet over a leather alternative, you’re voting for a more ethical future. Every time you support brands that stand with organizations, you’re helping to shift the fashion industry toward compassion.
